He wants to become a math teacher or go to the moon
In the rehearsals for the final 4 times the fourth-grader broke the world record
“I feel great with this award. I didn’t expect to win it at all, because there were other pretty good talents. It brought me happiness, pride and joy. ”
This was said for “24 Chasa” by the 10-year-old mathematician Kaloyan Geshev, who won the seventh season of “Bulgaria is looking for talent” on bTV and the grand prize of BGN 50,000. According to him, the biggest role in his victory was played by
the audience that
this year
vote
mostly
for children
However, Kaloyan won with a huge advantage over the other talents – over 50% of the audience vote was for him, said the host of the show Alexander Kadiev.
The race was exhausting, the kid admits. But also a great pleasure. He liked everyone on the jury.
On Sunday, in the competition between 12 finalists, he showed his incredible ability to mentally and quickly calculate arithmetic operations with large numbers, as if handling an electronic calculator.
The fourth-grader tried to set a world record in speed computing and solved ten problems with 5-digit numbers live in excellent time, but made one mistake. Seconds later, he corrected himself, but that prevented him from setting his official record. However, the spectators unequivocally recognized him as the winner.
In fact, Kaloyan improved the record – this happened at the rehearsals. The hosts Kadiev and Daniel Petkanov announced that they have personally witnessed how the boy solved the tasks 4 times, but apparently the tension and emotions from the live performance had their influence.
After hearing his name, the child started jumping for so long that Kadiev picked him up to stop him.
As
calm down
the boy
he asked, “Honestly
Did I win? ”
Of course, the host answered and asked to find out what he would do with the prize of BGN 50,000. “I can go to Spain or some other country,” said the little mathematician.
Kaloyan is in the fourth grade at the 144th Sofia University “Narodni Buditeli”, which specializes in choreography, music and fine arts. He is a student in “g” class. His class is with folk dances.
He was only 3 and a half years old when his mother Rumi Gesheva felt the child’s interest in mathematics.
“He just likes the numbers.
His life
are the numbers
From a young age, he counted everything – the numbers of cars, the blocks around us, the apartments. He wrote big numbers on the sheets, “she said. There was no other number juggler in the family.
Kaloyan himself wanted to appear in the form influenced by his teacher Georgi Georgiev, who taught him at the Children’s Academy for Talented Children DANIS in 2018, and last year he appeared in the same competition and took second place.
From his first appearance on the stage, the boy wanted to surpass his teacher – he was second, I will win, Kaloyan threatened.
The money that
win, you will
keep for
his education
and for competitions,
who are in
abroad
We will not spend them, says the mother. They hope to travel to championships next year, after the last pandemic was not possible. Well, the boy throws in ideas for a new bike, because the current one has shrunk very quickly.
There are already many prizes in the biography of the 10-year-old from Sofia – fourth place at the World Speed Calculation Championship in Germany. In second place is the European. He is first in the Arab Championship. It’s last year
7th of
Olympiad in
sports mind for
all ages and the online youth championship.
Despite the serious commitment in the TV competition, the pandemic year in the fourth grade passed successfully for Kaloyan. He wants to congratulate his classmates on Children’s Day through the newspaper.
In addition to mathematics, my favorite began to become “Man and Nature”, says the fourth-grader. He also loves the Bulgarian language and the physical.
He wants to become a math teacher, a policeman or go to the moon. I don’t know, we will see how things stand, the winner thinks.

They did it for two years in a row and he really liked it. They were also in Turkey last year. For the first time I visited another neighboring country, Kaloyan explained.
The talented child is proud of the 144th school “Narodni buditeli”. Although we have an art profile, Kaloyan is our advertisement, the director Kamelia Dilova is happy.
